Inspection Summary:
The Goldsboro WRF was inspected 03/13/2020 at 12:00pm by Paul Mays. The facility was found to be compliant with
permit W00017791, well maintained and well operated. The ORC Robert Sherman was present during the inspection and
was very helpful. Below is a summary of the findings during the inspection.
The golf course received 5289338 gallons in 2019-2020 and the effluent flow meter for the effluent pipe leading to the golf
course was calibrated on 11/12/2019
The effluent flow meter leading to the spray field on the farm was calibrated on 11/12/2019
All required records were present and readily available for the inspection with no hassle. Irrigation records were reviewed wilt
ORC and records indicate compliance with permitted flow to the golf course and the farm. The October 2019 NDMR was
spot checked for completeness and it was found to be complete. October 31, 2019 was checked on NDMR versus the lab
data and no issues were found. The data checked out.
The farm and golf course both look good and well maintained. All required units were present and in good condition. There
were some issues with the pumps for irrigation on the golf course. However, this issue is being addressed and does not
violate the permit conditions.
The required sign indicating reuse water is being utilized on site was present and in plain sight at golf course club desk. This
is good. Because as a friendly reminder, the absence of this sign would mean noncompliance with the permit and possibly
enforcement. Therefore, it must always be present and in plain sight at all times.
